If using the Windows binary, the .exe file includes the Python interpreter, so you don't run it using your system's installed Python. Instead, it would be:
web2py.exe -S application -M Also, note that S and M are capitalized. Anyway, the point of the binary .exe file is for systems that do not have Python installed. If you have Python installed, it would be preferable to just use the source version of web2py -- don't bother with the .exe version.
